Any BAEC regulars tried EY in F or J?
BA miles are always a consideration, although I seem to collect them far more quickly than I ever spend them...!
Just recently got back from a round trip LHR to KUL with EY in J (BA dropped the route a few years ago) having done LHR to SIN and LHR to HKG with BA CW in the recent past.
My comparisons: New EY LHR lounge better than T5 galleries,the AUH lounge is not huge but we had no problems finding seats,Inflight food on EY way better than BA,EY seating config on 3 out of 4 flights had staggered formation great for solo and couples as there are options for both and everyone gets direct access to the aisle.We had a delay of 5 hours in AUH outbound (on top of my chosen 7 hour layover) and after a bit of table bashing we got a chauffeured merc to and from the Raddisson Yas Island with a meal and a bed.Our flt KUL to AUH had an a/c change to cradle/recliner seats(knew this for 2 weeks prior to first flight so changed seats) with probably the most space I can remember and a seat that reclined far enough.I have never flown in F so notthing to compare it with but I had a peek at the F suite on EY's A346 and it looked just great.
